For 22 years librarians from Scandinavia have gathered every other year to discuss resource sharing in a changing and increasingly digital environment.

The main focus on this 11th Nordic interlending and document delivery conference will be the libraries role in providing end-users with access to information in the age of licenses, consortia and pay-per-views.

We hope the 11th Nordic ILL will give the participants opportunities to discuss, exchange experiences and learn – Both from each other and from the lectures on innovative practices on the conference topics.

How can libraries provide access to end-users in the age of licenses, consortia and pay-per-views?

We are delighted to invite you to the 11th Nordic ILL to be held from October 15th to 17th in Thon Hotel Opera in Oslo.

The conference theme “To Get or not to Get” reflects the challenges all libraries face today. The Organizing Committee hope you’ll find the conference program to be relevant and exciting. We also wish the conference to be a forum where library and information professionals, as well as representatives of our suppliers and system developers, can have the opportunity to discuss, debate and network with colleagues from the Nordic countries.

The conference begins on Thursday 16th, but we have arranged library visits on Wednesday 15th for participants who arrive early. You can join a visit to two public libraries (you may choose one or both) or visit two libraries at the University of Oslo. See the conference website for more information on the library visits.

The Thon Hotel Opera is located in central Oslo, the venue offers a convenient and exciting location for delegates and sponsors. It’s close to a variety of attractions such as the opera, museums, galleries, parks, entertainment, restaurants, cafes and shopping. For those who wish to go further afield, public transport is readily accessible.
